She’s really just vibing and they’re obsessed with her

[Jonah Goldberg @JonahDispatch]

Really could be a scene from a satirical novel. The same weekend Trump’s name is removed from the Kennedy Center, this spectacle is beamed to the world from the White House.

[Michael Weiss @michaeldweiss]

JFK once invited to dinner 49 Nobel laureates, Robert Frost, William Styron, Ernest Hemingway, James Baldwin, Katherine Anne Porter, John Dos Passos, James Farrell and Lionel and Diana Trilling, and others. His line on the occasion became famous: “I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House—with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

Some of you were alive when that happened.

Former SA One Nation Leader Jennifer Game has won a $15k settlement against PHON. "You could fill a town hall with the people (candidates) they have short changed". Forcing candidates to buy corflutes that are illegal to use in SA. It isn't a party, it is a private corporation.

Yet Joyce & Pauline (great title for a sitcom) keep telling me climate change is a hoax! https://t.co/J7qz3WM3CO

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

"It's a race against time. ... People like @realDonaldTrump, narcissistic sociopaths like the ones we've seen throughout history—the Hitlers and the Stalins—they blow themselves up in the end. And the question is the blast radius, and the longer we let this go on the bigger the blast radius is."

Applebaum: What binds Russia, China, Iran and North Korea is not religion or ideology.

China is communist, Russia nationalist, Iran theocratic. What binds them is fear of liberal language: rights, rule of law, separation of powers and independent courts. 1/

[Niall Stanage @NiallStanage]

This is a devastating interview.

Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.

Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

Officer Fanone on Jan 6, after being tased 3 times in the neck by Trump terrorists, beaten with his gun and dragged unconscious down the stairs. He had a heart attack.

Stephen Colbert goes out showing the best revenge is not success, but joy. Pure joy.

@kackles74 @knarfnamduh @ipa A problem Wilson has is Goldstein residents really pay attention, they’ve given Wilson a crack and he’s just not giving them anything back.

[JAH @DrJulieAH]

So this is the guy who decided it would be hilarious to start a disinformation campaign online?

Jim Chalmers says when the LNP introduced the CGT discount in 1999, they “fundamentally distorted how investment happens” by “encouraging ppl to pile into existing housing” which pushed prices up & locked young ppl out.💥
The 27-year free ride is finally over. #auspol

[Senator Murray Watt @MurrayWatt]

BREAKING: Barnaby Joyce says One Nation would demand the Liberals “get rid of the Department of Climate Change” as a condition of supporting them to form government. With the Liberals unable to form government without One Nation, if you vote Liberal, this is what you’d get.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Fed Chair Jerome Powell just directly warned that the Trump induced rise in gas prices could cripple our economy. Wow.

[Dan Qayyum @DanQayyum]

What did Charles actually do? He praised NATO in front of its loudest critic. He championed climate action in front of a climate denier. He called for interfaith dialogue during an administration that has banned citizens from Muslim-majority countries. He praised checks and balances on executive power to a room full of lawmakers who have been unable to exercise them. He referenced the Middle East crisis that is currently straining the alliance he was there to celebrate. He defended the Royal Navy after Trump publicly insulted it. And he did all of this while receiving standing ovations, bipartisan laughter, and a dinner invitation.

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

[Nick Bryant @NickBryantNY]

In trying to abide by normal rules of journalistic engagement, journalists often normalise Donald Trump. Mea culpa, there were times I did it myself as a BBC correspondent. There is an in-built institutional disposition to normalise the abnormal.

A useful way to think about Stephen Miller is that he’s a racist piece of shit.
